And here we have another photo. It looks very much like it was taken on the same day (at least during the exact same visit ) In the center we see our old friend together with Persian and Russian officials.

Great info and great photos hc8604! Many thanks Amazingly low number for award from 1973! Two rosettes! Now it's clear why box for 2nd class had two corner "pockets" Best regards, Nick P.S. Nice quality and the order looks like it was made in silver

Persia - Order of the Lion and the Sun
JapanX replied to drclaw's topic in Middle East & Arab States
Your Russian sounds exactly like Mitya's Japanese... "Now we need to change the Constitution in the USA to allow for three terms and bring back Clinton to fix our economy." Nope. You'll need someone brighter than him. Ex-pilot, ex-super-businessman, really likes cowboy boots ... Sounds familiar? P.S. Thanks for reverse! But who's this tense looking dude on the right? Hmmmm... -
